While it is abundantly clear that Seattle has talent, part of the reason they won, per Richard Sherman is precisely because they knew and understood what Peyton Manning was throwing at them. They understood the tendencies. He also mentioned the ability to adjust on Peyton's part with double-moves could have opened up their offense. If people don't understand how stopping one of the most prolific, if not most prolific offense ever, applies to Jason Garrett's offense and it's simplicity, then I don't know what to say.

What's your argument, exactly? That coaching didn't have anything to do with the win, or that it did and that that same approach would let them stop the Cowboys? Or something else entirely?

So you think the players found out about Manning's tendency on certain plays by them selves, without their coaches getting involved? Please....

No, I'm saying that play calling has everything to do with making an offense or defense look good. It's not simply about lining up people and having them beat their men one-on-one. I'm hearing a lot of Seattle just physically out-matched Denver. They swarmed to the ball in part because they knew where the ball was going.

So, you think the players only, without any coach input, knew what Garrett was going to do? DUDE!

Am I really saying that or am I saying Garrett's a joke of a coach and defenses easily figured him out which is why our best years under him were when we went up-tempo and Romo essentially free-wheeling...

That is what you really started this thread for.

Then you tried to mask it by saying that the Seattle coaches had nothing to do with how the players found out about how Manning operates.

So what are the signs of correct technique execution, a legitimate pass rush, and talented players playing to their potentials?

I know it's easy to bash Garrett as a coach but the same style of offense won Baltimore a SB.

The coaches decide what type of scheme they are going to run based on what their personnel can do. Each offense requires a different skillset and that's where the good GMs can find players that will suit the coaches schemes.

Despite the many variations of offenses that are out there, they all have the same concepts built in them. (verticals, corner/flat, levels, flood, etc) What the good offenses do is they figure out what they are good at, and they run those plays out of multiple formations to confuse the defense. Peyton Manning ran a total of 7 plays from 13 different formations in Indy and the Broncos are no different. Manning is successful because he can check into a different concept at the LOS when he knows the defense in front of him.

The SB was a great example of flawless technique and having a constant pass rush that disrupts the QB's rhythm. Manning didn't have time and they constantly harassed him every chance they got, while the backend played their assignments well. Seattle is going to be a good team for a long time and they should be thanking their lucky stars that they got a HC like Carroll.
